Bizarrely, this camera <strong>doesn't</strong> charge via USB, it has a separate battery charger. I haven't run it through an ammeter to see what it's actually pulling down but, spoiler alert, it seems to work with the 'bot just fine with short (~30-50ms) pulses. Time will tell if this fries my board! :) You bring up a good point. Bizarrely, this camera doesn’t charge via USB, it has a separate battery charger.

How much current can those signal pins supply? It can't be much if they're directly connected to the I/O pins on the Atmel, which is what the doc suggests. You may have to stick a relay in there which gates power from a real USB port. That camera probably draws a lot of current from the USB power rails, especially if it can charge its battery from USB.
